11Th October 2019 Download Name: Form: Friday 11th October 2019 Headteacher Message Dear Parent/Carer, It has been a very purposeful week at LDA. The parents/ carers of our Year 7 pupils met with Form Tutors yesterday evening to discuss how well their children have settled in at the Academy. The feedback we received from parents was overwhelmingly positive and I am delighted that the year group are already Miss Gowan Headteacher proving themselves to be so well -mannered, respectful and highly aspirational. Thanks to Ms O’Reilly, Mrs Wheeler and the wider staff for their support with this event. Our new Associate Assistant Headteacher Miss Pope and our Pastoral Officer Mrs Johnson have been leading assemblies across the week on mental well-being. There has been a specific emphasis on us all using social media carefully and in moderation. We attach a great deal of value to the importance of mental health and well- being at LDA and our Personal Development Curriculum this week has also focused on this crucially important area. There is always a lot of support and guidance for our pupils in school should they need it. Year 11 pupils are continuing to work hard towards their GCSE examinations. They will shortly be receiving in-depth feedback on their mock examinations in maths and English. The vast majority have been attending the additional lessons on offer before school, at lunch time and after school. Can I ask parents to support us in this domain by encouraging your child to engage with the additional provision. I wish you all a restful weekend. V Gowan, Headteacher WINNERS 30th September–4th October Attendance–Einstein, Behaviour– King, House points–Einstein, Punctuality–King LITERACY Literacy Word of the Week: TONE NUMERACY PUZZLE ART: TONE refers to the lightness or darkness of an object. TONES are created by the way light falls on a 3D object. TONE is used in drawing & painting to create the illusion of form DRAMA: TONE is the manner of speaking - your characteristic style or manner of expressing yourself orally; "his manner of speaking was quite abrupt“. A TONE of voice shows what the speaker/actor is feeling. MUSIC: TONE is the quality of the sound produced by an instrument or voice (i.e. the trumpet has a brassy, harsh tone) AND the interval between two pitches (i.e. C to D is a tone but C to C# is a semitone) Book Recommendation: Meet Bruno Tonioli - Strictly Come Dancing judge, wildcat choreographer and stardust magnet. With his irrepressible personality and Italian exuberance, Bruno has become a TV sensation, settling the fate of Britain's ballroom hopefuls during the nation's favourite Saturday night show. Bruno's journey is mind-blowing. He fled from home at eighteen to join the dance company La Grande Eugene and travelled around Europe; he later coached the actress Goldie Hawn as a dance instructor, and orchestrated lavish productions for TV, film and pop videos, where he worked alongside The Rolling Stones, Freddie Mercury, Duran Duran and Tina Turner. Last weeks answer: Along the way Bruno has Tangoed with high fashion, performed the Cha Cha Cha with untameable pop vixens Bananarama and danced an emotional Waltz with bereavement and breakdown before settling in the perfect location - a seat on the judging panel of Strictly Come Dancing, where he wowed the nation at home and in 14 + 5 x 10 = 64 Hollywood with his passion for dance and an excitable turn of phrase. ART - It’s all about the sketchbooks in Art this half term. Years 7, 8 and 9 have been designing and creating their Title pages according to set briefs with outstanding results.

Teacher of Music PHOTOGRAPHY - This term we have turned back time to the days when taking a photograph involved a long wait for the results (no preview screens here!). With the very kind donation of a 35mm film SLR camera and associated equipment from Mr & Mrs Westhead of Huyton we have been able to develop Mr Proctor Classroom our own rolls of B&W film negatives here in school. Year 11 Photography pupils Teacher have shown their skills and techniques in taking and processing black and white film (a very technical process involving mixing and timing chemical solutions and loading the film onto a spool, blind in a changing bag) before scanning and printing their negatives. The pupils have produced some wonderful images and the process of learning how Photography has developed alongside scientific Mrs Greenhalgh developments over almost two centuries has been an invaluable addition to their learning.

Brunswick seniors celebrate a golden age By JENNIFER AMATO Staff Writer n a building that is just 25 years old, there are enough memories to last 25 Ilifetimes. The South Brunswick Senior Center will highlight its 25th anniversary on Sept. 22 with a celebratory party. Betsy Sansig, 92, remembers when a celebration was held to mark the first offi­ cial day of the opening of the center in 1991. “The mayor was here. And a lot of big shots,” she said of the ribbon-cutting and luncheon to follow. Prior to the establishment of the senior center, a group of seniors would meet in the early 1980s at the municipal building to pe­ tition for a space of their own while using Crossroads Middle School, the VFW, the high school and Woodlol Park as meeting grounds. “We used to join trips. We used to go away sometimes for a week ... and book a hotel,” Sansig said. Then, with permission of the mayor and council at the time, a 10,000-square-foot structure was built for a population of 2,000 residents who were age 55 or older, with about 50 seniors coming to the center each day. A group would go door-to-door selling stickers to residents — Sansig did not re­ member what the stickers looked like — in order to buy $3,000 worth of kitchenware and dishware for the new center.

  • Dance, Relax, Repeat. It's the Dancercise Break at Ragdale Hall Spa!
    Dance, relax, repeat. It's the Dancercise break at Ragdale Hall Spa! As series 13 of Strictly Come Dancing gets in full swing on TV, have you ever thought about trying some of those dance routines for yourself? Then look no further than the Dancercise three-day break at award-winning spa, Ragdale Hall in Leicestershire. We can't promise you a world- class dance partner but we can promise you three days of fun with talented and inspiring instructors as part of a small, select group. You'll also enjoy a 40-minute spa treatment (perfect for unwinding after all that shimmying around the dance-floor), and all the extras you'd expect from a stay at Ragdale, theUK's leading spa. We'll be mixing up contemporary and classic dance moves and giving them the Ragdale twist. Expect sessions including Cabaret inspired burlesque, MJ Streetdance bringing the King of Pop's moves back to life, and the group moves of our Zorba the Greek session. Slow things down with Lyrical Jazz before the grand finale on your final day; no-boundries Freestyle, mixing up ballet, disco, salsa and tango. Phew! You really don't have to be a dancer to join us on this event, it's all about simply having a go at something new and putting the fun back into fitness. You'll be working out without realising it, putting a little sweat on your brow but a big smile on your face (and with no Bruno Tonioli or Craig Revel Horwood judging you, you can keep smiling!) You're most welcome to bring your own props to add some glitz and glamour to the sessions - in fact we encourage you to! Between all the sessions there's time to unwind and experience Ragdale's award-winning facilities, including the Thermal Spa, pools and relaxation areas.
